Ginkgo biloba is a tree species native to China and is the only remaining member of the Ginkgo genus. It is considered a living fossil, because it is a prehistoric species that existed over 270 million years ago.

Ginkgo biloba has a wide, conical crown and a thick and strong trunk. Its leaves are unique, with a fan shape and a leather-like texture with distinct veins. Their color varies from dark green to golden yellow in autumn. They are planted around temples in Japan and are considered sacred.

This species is highly valued in traditional Chinese medicine and is now frequently used as a dietary supplement to support brain and cardiovascular health. Ginkgo biloba is recognized for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and for its ability to increase blood circulation in the body.

In addition, Ginkgo biloba seeds are used in Chinese cuisine, being eaten raw or fried. In general, Ginkgo biloba is a valuable tree for its ornamental appearance, for its medicinal properties and for its cultural and historical values.
